    The problem as I see it is how the news portrays every little thing the left does (or just things that happen on the left’s watch) with the exact same sensationalism as every radical thing the right does and says. If anything they tone down what the right does so it doesn’t sound extreme.

    Like finding the most extreme loud leftist protester to compare to actual elected delegates on the right or militant groups on the right that officials actually back. Meanwhile if the right wipes their ass without making a mess, they are hailed.

    The left is judged on their worst and the right is judged onto their best, and the left still usually comes out looking better.
